Short Statement: In the 2008 submission, OMB did not approve use of the WS Form 25. This form was deleted from the collection. However, when OMB adjusted the figures, 19,459 annual responses were subtracted from the 94,621 total annual responses that APHIS notated on the APHIS 71. The difference should have been -380 annual responses for the removal of WS Form 25 totaling 94,241 annual responses instead of 75,162 annual responses which has appeared in the OMB Inventory for the last 3 years. It now looks like the number of respondents and total burden hours have decreased but the annual responses have increased - but, in reality, the annual responses decreased by 3,175. However, it is not possible for APHIS to reflect this because of the inaccurate data that is reported in ROCIS. There was an adjusted increase of +18,520 of respondents who complete WS Forms 12A, 12B, 12C, 14 and 18. The number of responses to these forms increased by +18,520, resulting in an increase of +776 total burden hours. There was a decrease of -21,695 to the number of respondents completing WS Forms 17, 45, 35, 37, 66 and 68. The number of responses to these forms decreased by -21,695, resulting in a decrease of -1798 total burden hours. Therefore, +776 - 1,798 = -1,022 total burden hours.
